Eeeeeeh I like amusement parks, however they’re tremendous racist locations. Parks with too many company of coloration are appeared down on as crap and harmful, and so loads of them do not even promote to anyone however center class white households (and those who totally welcome all people are seen as shittier–and do not argue with me about locations like Disney both, as setting a sky excessive worth of admission ensures that loads of poor folks cannot get in, and that eliminates plenty of company that some folks see as “problematic”). Like I knew a man who was a member of some white supremacist orgs that bought free sprite (when he ordered water) at Cedar Level again in 2003/2004ish from employees who knew that he was a member of these teams. Like parks straight up closed somewhat than combine. Individuals nonetheless see black households at that park and take photographs and put them on-line and name them “gangs.” I do not really feel like Sesame Place has wherever close to these form of issues, however they do have a LOT of various company in comparison with different parks.
Like actually a child being snubbed by Elmo is simply the floor of the shit mountain of racism in amusement parks.
